About the role
As an IC Product Engineer, you will drive silicon validation, yield optimization, and product maturity from initial tape-out through high-volume manufacturing. You will act as the technical bridge between Design, Test, Quality, and Foundry and OSAT partners, analyzing complex ATE data to support yield and quality improvements.
What you'll do
- Drive wafer-level and final test yield enhancement programs, identifying root causes of yield drop, parametric shifts, and low-yield excursions across manufacturing lots.
- Use statistical tools to analyze large-scale ATE data, perform correlation analysis, establish guard bands, and track yield metrics across OSATs and foundries.
- Partner with Design and Test teams to define characterization plans, perform shmoo plot analysis, evaluate thermal/voltage margins, and establish production test limits.
- Support manufacturing operations by reviewing yield baseline shifts, driving continuous improvement programs, and managing product hold disposition rules.
- Support Failure Analysis and Reliability efforts by investigating customer returns (RMA), qualifying new packages or process nodes, and supporting qualification tasks such as ESD/LU and HTOL.
What you'll need
- Minimum 5+ years of experience in Semiconductor Product Engineering spanning post-silicon bring-up to high-volume production.
- Deep understanding of statistical process control, baseline drift detection, capability metrics (CPK), and correlation methodologies (wafer vs. package test).
- Familiarity and experience working with foundry and OSAT partners, including fab processes, WAT data, and packaging assembly flows.
- Proficiency in scripting for data extraction and automation using Python or PERL.
- BSEE/MSEE, Computer Engineering, or Microelectronics degree.

How we counted: 113 open Product Engineering (Yield Engineering) roles from 37 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 11 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Silicon Validation & Test family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
